Incident Description: 
On Sunday, August 3, 2008 at approximately 7:30 PM I was hit by a vehicle and taken to the hospital via ambulance. I do not know what the police did with my bicycle, but I went to the station and they had no inventory report. Perhaps the paperwork hasn't gotten into the system yet, or perhaps the police left the bike at the scene.
